Rode this today, they did nothing visually. Animatronics still dont work in the original doll section. If anything they made show lighting way too bright in some spots, but that was all. Its still looking old and tired. This refurb must have been strictly operating issues, certainly not show quality. It has also been down a lot today off and on. The one and only plus I noticed is the tunnel cartoon screen is not as loud as it use to be blaring out into san angel inn, its been adjusted.
Also the new volcano smoke projection is way too cartoony fakey, but I guess that's what they were going for? Its a big white bright blob that is noticeable as soon as you walk in the building.
